If you need to submit a revised version of your film, please send it via the upload form and then send me a PM to let me know it's coming. The system takes care of marking the new version so I know which one it is, even if you re-upload multiple times. Just be aware that once the cutoff occurs you can no longer send newer versions of your film.
Other Info

Any films not in 100% compliance will be rejected and the filmmaker will be notified.

Thanks,
Larry
